I’ve got a Framework with the 1360p for personal use and a HP Zbook from work with the Ryzen 5 Pro 7640HS. The Ryzen is easily as powerful as the 1360p and lasts about 1.5 hours longer performaing the same tasks. I can push 6-7 hours 0n the Ryzen with normal use, not dimming the screen, streaming music/youtube, and software development with multiple VS Code instances running multiple apps at once. For the 1360p, I have to dim the screen to 50% and try to keep the number of thigns running lower to even get 5 horus.

I was skeptical about the AMD as I had the Intel first and its performed very well. Its a fast but hot processor that will chew through a battery. I was concerned the AMD was not going to be able to keep up, but I was very wrong. It runs cooler and more efficiently, so it can run faster for a longer period of time and use less energy doing so. If fact, not only does it run more efficiently, it also doesn’t dip in performance while on batter as much as the Intel. There have been a few times I’ve brought the AMD back to my desk, forgot to plug it in, only to eventually realize it wasn’t plugged in when Windows warns me that the battery low.

Honestly, I wish I had waited for the AMD variant of the new mainboard instead of going for the 13th gen Intel, but maybe in the next year or so I’ll go for the next AMD upgrade.
